Hyde County Transit

Hyde County Transit has enjoyed serving the communities of Hyde since 1987. HCT was incorporated as a private non-profit corporation by a group of private citizens that saw a need for public transportation services for the county’s residents.

Presently, HCT has a fleet of two 25-ft buses and fours vans, three of which are wheelchair accessible. In 2014, HCT provided over 14,000 one-way trips for the residents of Hyde.

We have many transit services available such as: non-emergency medical transportation, employment transit services, transit services to the Mattamuskeet Senior Center, and the Rural General Public Program. For more specific information concerning transportation programs, please call our office. Our office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am-5:00pm.

Hyde County Transit would like to encourage everyone to please let us know what your transit needs are. We are always looking for new service alternatives to offer you. Most residents believe that HCT’s services are not available to them, but everyone is eligible for our services. We promise we are interested in knowing where you would like to go and what we can do to get you there.

Hyde County Transit is administered by Director Beverly Paul, along with Assistant Director Lorna Quidley.
